Leadership of the foundation is undergoing a generational shift.
The William Penn Foundation is instituting a broad set of changes — from the kinds of projects and organizations it is interested in funding, to how groups may apply for money.Some of these shifts are being influenced by a generational turnover playing out gradually on the foundation’s board.
William Penn Foundation has long been a powerhouse philanthropy in the region. It approved just over $154 million in grants in 2023, a spokesperson said. In recent years, after the Annenberg Foundationfrom Radnor to Los Angeles and as the Pew Charitable Trusts shifted focus beyond Philadelphia, the William Penn has assumed primacy among local foundations.
William Penn’s environmental work will expand beyond its current concern relating to clean water. Funding will now go toward groups working to reduce illegal dumping, increasing green space and tree plantings, land conservation, building green stormwater infrastructure, and the intersection of green spaces with social interaction.
Another distinct granting program new to the foundation will support programs aimed at reducing barriers to workforce training and employment retention. Officials say they hope that in addition to working with its traditional fundees, groups that might have thought themselves unqualified or too small will raise their hands for possible funding. Most groups will be able to respond to a quarterly request for proposals the foundation will put out for particular giving areas — such as improving public spaces in Philadelphia — with an application that officials say is streamlined from its previous version.
